firstly, this deal has been active since earlier this year when costco went to the current 1 carrier at each store model.
wait until T-mo has the iphone 15 deal like Verizon and AT&T seem to be doing now. the GO5G plans are outrageously expensive.

Like many others, I am legacy (7 yr+ old plan - SCNA with the max 12 lines). Have lines coming out of my ears and a third is free!. None of the current plans makes sense and many have already said not worth switching for an upgrade.

Best T-mo is able to do with staying on the SCNA is offer $200 for 12, lower for XR. Even Apple offers $250 for 12 and $140 for XR

I have 12 lines and this is what would happen if i changed from existing to Go5G Plus. Not at all worth it.

How much are you paying per month when you include tax on your 12 line plan?

Can you be more specific about which iPhone 15 deal you were referring to because Tmobile definitely has an iPhone 15 deal going on

I will probably call in the next day or two but honestly most people on here and Reddit seem to know more than T-Mobile representatives in my experience, so I will ask here.

If we are on a plan like regular magenta (not max), do we get a Costco cash card by doing an upgrade? In the past it was $75, I don't know if that still exists?

There's no phone promo big enough to justify changing a legacy Tmobile plan to Go5G.
Seriously, I would have to pay more than twice my current monthly fees for basically the same service, minus the Netflix and miscellaneous perks. So w/o phone deals for legacy plans, my family members keep their phones for 3-4 years and just pay the regular price for a new flagship phone (minus whatever small discount we can get during the holiday). Not tied to any EIP crap, which by the way is like 36 months now

Tmobile acquired Mint now, so thinking if anyone recently moved.

I don't think so. Please read the fine print on that offer because we switched from US mobile to Tmo and they didn't give us the deal.

Can we move from Xfinity and BYOD and get $400 or you have to purchase a new device?

I'm on the Magenta Max plan - the new plans are way more expensive for literally the same (or extrremely similar) benefits.
So I'm also on Magenta Max. I have 9 lines: four paid lines and five free lines (from various free lines promos) + Insider Hookup.

Twitter Rep told me that Go5G Plus would cost $5 more per month per paid line, so +$20/mo over what I pay now (which I think is $128/mo for service plan). So an extra $240 per year.

As far as I can see, the benefits I would get are:
1) 50GB of hotspot instead of 40GB (useful as I sometimes do run out on two lines)

2) maintain the ability to upgrade with the best trade in deals every 2 years on 9 lines.

Assuming we upgrade most of those lines regularly, getting the best promo trade in credits, that seems maybe not bad?

Very willing to be talked down from the ledge here. Am I crazy to consider changing?
